Makarun

The Unforgettable Culinary Experience

Discover Mediterranean cuisine inspired by the finest seasonal ingredients. We transform food into works of art always respecting the authentic local flavors. Our kitchen is connected to Earth, we honor soil and Earth is fruitful to us.

Location

The Ambiance

Hidden behind the walls of the Diocletian Palace in a peaceful oasis, fantastic scenes of the cohesiveness of the past and the present are presented. The location where we are has determined what we have become,
because one of the first restaurants in Split, Kolombatovic, was once opened here. The testimony of the past is on our terrace – a wonderful fig tree, a silent observer of tenderness, love, encounters, and separations that lived on our plates. Our atmosphere is experience, an emotion, human, genuine, as we celebrate life on the plate.

We stopped here to have a celebration dinner & it did not disappoint! The aged prosciutto, the olive oil, the wine, the fresh fish! All were perfect!

AMAZING restaurant. Delicious menu. Fantastic staff who went out of their way to give us delightful meals. The lamb was delicious. The sea bream outstanding. Every mouthful was a gift to the taste buds, and beautifully complementary flavours. Will def visit again next time I'm in town.

Sara made our evening We had a great dinner! The food and drinks were delicious with a variety of dishes and all the ones we tried were tasty. The atmosphere was nice, in the backyard away from the crowds in Split. The service in general was awesome. Especially Sara, the waitress who served us, is very nice, helpful, and funny while still being professional. She’s absolutely had a big part in making our evening as good as it was! We wish you all the best!! Definitely recommended!

Just finished a meal here and wow! Literally the best fish soup I have had in my life - if I could bottle it and take it home, I’d take it all. The broth is crazy good. Sea bass fillet was perfectly cooked. Also had a bit of ham that was comparable to Iberico. I’m not exaggerating, it was the fat melt-in-your-mouth exceptional. I’ve been to Croatia 4 times over the past 10 years and I feel like standards have dropped over time. Not here, which makes me very happy.

This was brilliant. The title suggests a bar, actually this is a high end restaurant. There’s a courtyard away from the crowds - very peaceful. We had the tasting menu with the wine pairings. The sommelier (Stefan) was our waiter and was fantastic - lots of knowledge about the wine and the pairings were spot on. First course was a really nice dry cure ham - think it’s called pršut, paired with sparkling wine. Then cuttlefish and other carpaccio with Pošip wine. Afterwards the incredibly succulent lobster with home made gnocchi (I think) with a lovely grk. The next course was bull, which nether of us had tried before. We guessed the wine (Plavac Mali) and Stefan rewarded us with another glass… the final course was salted caramel poured on a chocolate bomb with ice cream. Twinned with a dessert wine (apparently not fortified) at 18% ABV. Then shots with the owners…! Everything was lovely, and Stefan didn’t miss a beat. We were a little wobbly in the way out. Thoroughly impressed. Thanks guys. Živjeli!

The food is the best we’ve had in Croatia. Honestly! Stephan was amazingly kind and professional. Each course was delivered at the perfect time. Usually when one eats at a nice restaurant it typically lasts hours (in Europe). Some people love this. I like to savor my meal but also allow for an evening strolling an mesmerizing historical city. Stephan was very sensitive to this and in turn very attentive. Highly highly recommend. Hvala!

That's a superb restaurant! We took the 'Surprise from the Chef' with following wines and that was just marvellous! Delicious! Hi end! Better than some of Michelin rated restaurants I've been to. The service and the stuff deserve 'A winner of the year' title! We will be back soon to split and that's a place where we'll have a dinner for sure. Many thanks guys!
